Unlock a world of hidden details with our Irresistible Die-Cut Frames. These aren't your average paper accentsthey are designed with a specialized ""resist"" coating that allows you to become the artist.
At first glance, they appear as elegant, clean white shapes, but a secret pattern is waiting to be discovered.
The Magic of the "Resist" Effect - Each frame features a clear, embossed pattern that acts as a barrier. When you apply color over the top, the ink slides off the treated areas and sinks into the paper around them. The result? A stunning, professional-looking design that pops with high-contrast detail.
How to Use Them:
- Ink Blending: Use a blending tool and your favorite dye inks. Sweep the color across the frame to watch the intricate patternslike swirls, text, or geometric linesmagically appear.
- Water coloring: Brush on watercolor paints or water-reactive markers. The resist coating keeps the patterns crisp and white while the colors bleed and blend beautifully in the open spaces.
- Mixed Media: Experiment with other paints and mediums. After applying your medium, simply wipe the surface with a dry cloth to "reveal" the bright white pattern underneath.
How the Magic Works
- The "magic" lies in the interaction between the medium and the treated surface. When you apply water-based inks, sprays, or markers, the ink resists off the pre-designed patterns and settles into the surrounding paper.
- Reveal the Design: Simply swipe an ink pad or a blending brush over the white cardstock to watch intricate damasks, dots, or floral swirls emerge instantly. Depending on medium used, you may need to use a cloth to wipe excess off (always test a small area first).
- Custom Color Matching: Because the borders start white, you can customize them to match any project palette exactly.
- Mixed Media Ready: Experiment with watercolors, alcohol inks, or chalks to create gradient "ombre" effects or vintage, weathered looks.
